"Living on My Own" is a song written and performed by British singer-songwriter Freddie Mercury, originally included on his first solo album, Mr. Bad Guy (1985).

It was released as a single (backed with "My Love Is Dangerous") on 2nd September 1985 by CBS in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 50.

[5] The accompanying music video was directed by Hannes Rossacher and Rudi Dolezal, and features footage of Mercury's 39th birthday celebration at a nightclub in Munich, West Germany.

[6] This remix, produced by Serge Ramaekers, Colin Peter and Carl Ward, reached number one in the UK, Ireland, and France (for 15 weeks), becoming Mercury's first solo number-one hit.

[8] John Kilgo from The Network Forty said that "hitting you over the head like a hammer, the harmony-laden hook compliments (sic) an uptempo groove".
